Carstensen in Exile

24 Mar 2005

It's dangerous to watch news channels with the sound turned off. I glanced at N24 this afternoon, and they were scrolling headlines from Kyrgyzstan while showing pictures of Peter Harry Carstensen. My first thought was that mobs had stormed the Landtag in Kiel and had forced the the CDU leader into exile.

Given everything that's happened in Schleswig-Holstein the past few weeks, the thought isn't really that far fetched.
